Miller's Loft
Colmer, California Cross, South Devon.
Sleeps 4 + cot, Rent band L, Map Ref: E14/15
    
Colmer is set in the centre of the idyllic South Hams of
Devon, surrounded by 28 acres of grounds, which vary from landscaped
lawns and walled gardens to wild woodland and meadows. Add to this a
range of year-round indoor and outdoor facilities and you have the
ingredients that create the perfect holiday. Each property is privately
owned and enjoys its own style and individuality. Choose between the
Georgian splendour of Colmer House and the charming, old, stone
buildings of Colmer's original farming estate, which have been converted
into rustic cottages that combine traditional character with modern
convenience.
Colmer is not only an ideal summertime retreat; during the cooler months
you can enjoy the indoor heated pool complex with its fitness room.
Fishing is available on the private lake and there is a tennis court and
croquet lawn.

There are plenty of tranquil spots where
you can unwind, escape into a good book or take out your watercolours
and produce that masterpiece. With so much to enjoy at Colmer you will
be tempted never to leave. However, venture just a little further afield
and you will find out why this area is one of Britain’s favourite
holiday locations. The little towns of Totnes, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge are all within
easy reach of Colmer. They are full of character with delightful shops,
restaurants and waterside hostelries. Local delicacies include Dart
Salmon and a wide range of local cheeses, all of which can be washed
down with a glass of wine from the local Sharpham vineyard. The many
South Hams beaches include Bigbury-on-Sea, from where you can reach
Burgh Island on foot or by sea tractor.
Miller’s Loft is part of what was originally the old mill and granary.
It has a pretty front garden with a picnic bench and parasol and is
centrally situated for all the facilities on the Estate. Inside, the
living room has comfortable leather sofas with cream and terracotta soft
furnishings.

The hard TENNIS COURT can be
booked for games on a same-day basis (bring your own racquets and
balls). For less energetic pursuits, you can borrow a set of
BOULES or
CROQUET set for a game on the lawns beside Colmer House.
From the croquet lawn, a boardwalk leads through the water garden to
the lake, which is stocked for COARSE FISHING with large Carp and
Golden Rudd. A minimum of three stands will be available through the
year. You will need to bring your own fishing tackle and have an
appropriate licence.
The acres of varied habitat make Colmer a nature lover's paradise.
Meadows, woodland, water meadows, the watergardens and the lake
attract hundreds of species of birds, butterflies and dragonflies.
Badgers have 'sett' up home within the estate and foxes, deer,
squirrels, hedgehogs and rabbits are among the many animals that can
be spotted. Sit quietly in a secluded spot and your patience cannot
fail to be rewarded. So don’t forget your binoculars!
